I'm curious why Ford would limit the power on the ford GT to only 647. Would it really have hurt to get the car to put out over 700? the 650 number has been around since 2009 (639hp ZR1).

was this ever expected to be an apples to apples race in the first place? I don't get the relevance
If you have 1/2 million dollars to spend on a Ford GT, I applaud you for your accomplishments. I agree though, many will never see one in person, let alone drive or own one.

So you need to carry VHT in the trunk every time you want to lay down a hero run? I will pass.
Haven't even watched the video, probably won't. I don't expect the demon to give it much of a challenge in a half mile setting. The demon is seeing an aero deficit compared to the GT under 100mph. Should be a walk in the park for the GT.
770tq through 14.55 total gear reduction in first gear or 9.70 total gear reduction in second. This isn't taking torque converter multiplication into account.
You act like your 2011 GT500 doesn't spin it's tires all over the place too, and it's much less powerful with less gearing.
But but but the GT is dedicated road course car that is slow on the top end with all the crazy aero . GT without the are would have put bus lengths on the Demon . you guys don't know it's all about the aero
Yeah this is about the only guy I have seen running his FGT hard. I believe it is a better performer (in a straight line) than most people give it credit for. Due to lack of videos like this one.
The GT has a .25 Cd, the demon has a .376 CD. The difference is enourmous.
Feel free to visit a track, and then play on an airstrip. Two different worlds. You don't have to like the truth, it isn't going to change.So you need to carry VHT in the trunk every time you want to lay down a hero run? I will pass.
I don’t have a 2011 GT500. I sold that car a year ago, partly because it could not put the power down even with much less hp than the Demon. To each their own. If Demon owners love their car good for them. I am just saying that having that powerful of a car that just spins the tires doesn’t appeal to me especially at that price tag.

Aren’t these types of event more about speed than E.T.? According to the guy on the video, it sounds like they were very close in speed. Two VERY differemnt approaches obviously.
I was at a airstrip mile event a few years back and saw basically every 1,000-2,000hp car running no better than 10’s. No one gave a rip about time though All anyone cared about was speed.
Go back and read Curtis' and my post. It's pretty clear.What is the truth that I am missing?
